Endpoint Strategy

How does endpoint management become endpoint security?

Through our strategic approach and focus on the essentials, endpoint management becomes a strategic advantage over cyber criminals without neglecting the user experience.

More questions, than answers

Most companies have recognized the importance of endpoint management, but the term is so big that maturity, priorities, and next steps are often unclear.

Are we not quite well positioned?

Where are your weak points and how should you prioritize? Endpoint management today is much more than software distribution and antivirus. Anyone who has not yet recognized this will experience it painfully.

UEM from the cloud?

Cloud UEM solutions such as Intune are modern, scalable and turn software distribution into unified endpoint management. Sounds like a no-brainer. But are you using its full potential?

How to keep control?

More and more endpoints and operating systems. The feeling that complexity is increasing is not deceptive. Your organization's attack surface is growing and growing.

What tools do we need?

Complexity kills security.
You could schedule demo appointments for new tools almost every day. Too many tools add complexity and cost time, money, and security.

Isn't that what the other department does?

For implementation strength, speed and consistency, you need central responsibility for endpoint management and endpoint security.

Security or User Experience?

For some on the team, endpoint management is the path to cyber resilience. Others focus on the modern workplace.

Regulations & Cyber Insurance

Regulations like NIS2 and cyber insurance policies require cyber hygiene. But what does that actually mean for your endpoint management?

Your answer:
The endpoint strategy

Endpoint management is one of the most confusing topics in IT. We missed structure and guidelines and therefore developed the endpoint strategy. A framework for focusing on the essentials.

The best cost-security ratio in IT

Many IT teams often forget the sheer effect of good cyber hygiene with the best cost-benefit ratio. With this strategic approach, we answer all your questions and turn endpoint management into endpoint security. In doing so, we create the absolutely necessary cyber hygiene for endpoints that gives you an advantage over hackers and your competition.

  • Modern UEM from the cloud or hybrid
  • Endpoint security in focus
  • Pay attention to admin and user experience
  • Consistency and continuity
  • Automation
  • All components interlock and are coordinated

Four Endpoint Strategy Elements

Endpoint management and security broken down into four elements that every company must master. Implementation requires deep knowledge of your infrastructure. We go the extra mile by supplementing this with selected security tools.

UEM Solution

A unified endpoint management solution serves as the control center for your endpoint strategy, forming the foundation for both your daily operations and your company's innovative capacity.

Manage all your endpoints centrally and automate the installation, configuration, and maintenance of your devices.

We rely on innovation and market leaders Microsoft and Ivanti.

System Hardening

System hardening involves securely configuring operating systems and access points to systematically reduce your attack surface.

Windows versions for businesses come with the same default security configuration as those for private users. Leaving these gaps unaddressed is negligent.

Patch Management

Patch management is the structured, consistent, timely and comprehensive closing of software-based security gaps.

Very few organizations consistently think through patch management. On average, they take over 100 days to patch and 60% of all successful attacks are due to unpatched systems! This is the reason for the unbeatable cost-security ratio.

Endpoint Protection Platform

The question is not if, but when and in what form, an attack will happen in your company. The Endpoint Protection Platform is your defense when even the best prevention isn't enough.


We rely on Microsoft Defender: Automatically identify, block and successfully defend complex threats with AI support using the latest EDR and XDR technology.

Infrastructure

The implementation of the endpoint strategy does not take place in a vacuum, but within your Microsoft IT infrastructure. That is why we are very familiar with the Microsoft 365, Azure and security world and the following technologies, among others:

• Microsoft 365
• Microsoft Entra, in particular Entra ID/ Active Directory
• Zero Trust architecture
• Group Policies (GPOs)
• Client and server design
• PowerShell
• Azure cloud infrastructure
• Azure Virtual Desktop
• Azure Logic Apps

Tools

Every part of our endpoint strategy is supported by highly practical tools.

Because we hate wasting money on tools with questionable value when it could be spent on cyber hygiene.

By carefully selecting our tools, we prevent tool sprawl and further strengthen your cyber resilience. We offer free trial implementations for all tools.

Endpoint Management

= Cyber Resilience

There is no such thing as 100% security, but special cases account for only 1% of successful attacks

99%

Cybersecurity is complex, but there is one all-important point: An incredible 99% of successful attacks could be thwarted by implementing basic cyber hygiene.

The direct connection is not yet completely clear to you?

Endpoint security is the most critical security element for a company, as it involves the interface between humans, machines and the corporate network. Each individual endpoint is therefore a critical vulnerability point for companies.

With the endpoint strategy, you cover the vast majority of TOP cyber hygiene measures recommended by leading institutions.

    Why bare-metal deployment still makes sense in 2026

    Bare-metal deployment refers to the complete reinstallation of an operating system on empty, wiped, or newly prepared hardware. The device typically boots via PXE, USB, or another boot medium. Windows is then reinstalled, partitioned, equipped with drivers, and prepared according to defined standards.
